Failed to find File:MLT_Welded.sms Options

[Old Geaser]

Working on the East Metro upgrade route. Everything seemed to start off ok, but now after making a activity, and starting the act, I get a pop up saying,

Failed to find sms file

File:MLT_welded.sms

After trying about 5 times to delete the pop up, (It keeps disappearing and reappearing) it finally disappears and the act starts, but after a save and restart I get the pop up again. I must be doing something wrong in the process of making the act. Any suggestions? Thanks

Thanks for the fix. I think maybe I am getting to old to keep up with this game. 83 +

When I installed the original file cefx2ba2 it said to load to train simulator, which I did. The patch has no instructions. The patch is all wag files. I installed the wag files to TS. They are now in TS. I added them to Trainset. They evidently did not go to a folder. They are now at the end of trainset list.

What I cannot figure out is that I made 2 acts which worked fine. After making the 3rd act. I get the darn pop up about the missing file.

Looking at the original file , it says to load to train simulator. Then it said to use activity editor or conbuilder to add the cars to the sims. This I am not familiar with. Evidently the original folder went to train simulator (Not sure) , but the patch does not seem to go to the correct place. Any suggestions? Thanks

Bert,

If the generated activity does not use this car, then the error doesn't show up. So I guess that the first two activities did not call for this car, whereas the third did.

[Old Geaser]

Well I guess I spoke to soon. I just made 3 acts and again on the 3rd act I get the pop up.

I wonder if there is a way to find out what car or cars that require the mlt-welded2.sms and how I can find where to install the sms file.

I contacted MLT and Andy sent me the 3 welded sms files.

If I knew what cars Activity Generator required the sms files, I could install it. Still grasping at straws. Thanks

I think all you have to do is to put the .sms files in the SOUND folder under the Train Simulator folder. You should not need to edit the car files.

[Old Geaser]

By golly you are right.

I put all 3 welded sms files in the train sim sound folder and ran the 2 acts that had the pop ups. Both worked.

Although I have been using computers since dos 3, I just know enough to be dangerous. Thanks a million.
